It's been hovering around 110 degrees here in Central Texas so I took a thermometer out to the tennis court the other day to check the court temperature. Supposedly an egg will cook on concrete at 130 degrees but I didn't bring an egg with me to try. I guess this is why I have to replace my tennis shoes so often! Gotta love Texas!

And since I have to replace them so often, I have to sell more stamps! So here's the new Yucca stamp as well as Sorry You're Feeling Yucca.

There's a new Saguaro and...

... a Prickly Pear. The Prickly Pear comes with a separate flower which is mounted on the top of the same block of wood. There's also a new Mountain stamp which will be a nice horizon for just about any scenic stamping project.

These should be on the website this weekend or early next week. Maybe by then the temperature will be a more reasonable 100 degrees!

I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I have been described as having a prickly personality. In fact, I have probably enjoyed and contributed to this perception. So these new stamps should be considered close to my heart! I do happen to love cacti and succulents and own more than my fair share. I like my plants like I like my friends - low maintenance! In our current 100 plus degree weather, my prickly garden is thriving!

I'll be sending these sample cards to all the lucky stores that carry Deadbeat Designs stamps. Hopefully they'll order them so I can add to my succulent collection. They will be available online soon... probably this weekend.

A few people have asked for roadrunner stamps. I don't know if they want realistic, cartoonish or stylized so I went with what I wanted. There are two sizes, one small and solid and one larger and open.

The new Cactus Collection stamp comes two ways. First as you see it mounted on wood and second, unmounted on cling with 5 individual stamps. Technically all of my stamps can be ordered unmounted on cling but on the website you have to order them mounted and send me an email telling me to send them unmounted. I'll adjust the price and issue a refund through PayPal.

I'll let you know when they are on the online and there will probably be more samples on the dreaded Facebook page.
